SUICIDE OF Mr.. JAMES CRoCKETT.-Mr.
James Crockett, for q number OF years after
the war an engineer on the Washington,
Ohio and Western Railroad, committed sui.
eide at his home, on Queen street, between
Fairfax and Royal, between FIVE and six
o'clock this morning. by cutting his throat
with pocket knife. The deceased was OBJ
served walking in his yard about halfp past
five O'Clock. 1t seems that he afterwards
went to the water closet, where he delber-
stely cut his throat, severing the jugular
vein, aud then proceeded to the wood shed
near by, blood marking his tracks as he
walked, and placing the knife on block
fell exhausted, where he was subsequently
discovered dead Mr. Crockett was 81
wears old, and was ever regarded as a mild
hammered and well disposed gentleman. OF
late he had been out Of employment, which,
with domestic troubles, had cast him into
dependency, and it was doubtless during
one of those fits that the rash idea ofsuicide
was entertained and carried out. A coro-
per's inquest was held over the body this
morning by DR.. Powell, and the jury, of
which Mr.. K. Il. Lucas was foreman, re-
turned verdict substantially as related
above. The deceased WAS member of Pc.
tomac Lodge OF Odd Fellows, was we'll
known here aud along the line Of the rail-
road over which be ran for years, and was
cs;eemed hy all who knew him. He leaves

The DIVORCE VALIDATED.-In the State
Senate yesterday Mr. Digs, from the Com.
raitlee for Courts of Justice, reported, with
out amendment. the bill introduced by Mr..
Meredith on Wednesday to validate and
uake etiectual the proceedings in and the
decree of divorce pronounced in the Cor
uo:atcn Court OF the city of Alexandria on
January II, 1887, in the chancery suit of
Mary E Holmes, by her next friend, vs.. E.
C. Holmes. The bill was subsequently
taken up, on Mr.. Meredths motion, and
ordered 10 its engrossment. Mr. Meredith
then moved that the rules be suspended and
the Till be placed on its immediate passage.
Mr.. Berry opposed the bill, saying that he
considered it dangerous precedent for the
General Assembly to legislate in these
divorce cases, which are 80 distinctly pro.
vided for in the Constitution
Mr.. Meredith explained that divorce
had been granted in this case by court OF
competent jurisdiction, and the General
Assembly was only asked to validate the
proceedings, in which it was thought there
had possibly been some error or mistake.
Holmes had been married since the divorce
Was granted, and to relieve them all from
embarrassment he and both of his wives
desired the passage of the bill.
The bill was passed.
